Taken from the Rig Rundown of AWOLNATION's Zach Irons, his chain moves from the Holy Grail reverb to the Strymon Timeline Delay pedal.

He uses this pedal to achieve a large assortment of unconventional sounds appropriate to the music he makes.

You can see this effect on Zach's pedalboard at Bunbury music festival in 2019 while playing with Awolnation. You can see it on the right side of his pedalboard from 46:00 - 46:10

"Irons uses a Kemper Profiling Amplifier live, and all of his profiles are Fender Bassman sounds. Irons is used to playing Marshalls, so he’s currently trying a real-amp approach with only boost, clean, and dirty profiles. 'The Kempers can do so much more than that, but I’m still adapting to using them, so I’m going for a basic thing right now.'"

Taken from the Rig Rundown of AWOLNATION's Zach Irons, his pedalboard chain continues from the volume pedal to the first of two distortion pedals: the Boss Turbo Distortion. He uses it for the heaviest of songs, turning the distortion to 5:00.

While nearly all songs are in standard tuning, Zach uses a G&L ASAT Classic to tune to down half a step for the song "I Am". Also, the stock humbucker on the neck position was removed for a replacement lipstick pickup.
